What happened?

Light flooded into my eyes as my eyelids struggled to open. My neck stung and my head pounded. It took me a moment to realize where I was. A hospital room. What had happened? Oh, yeah, Neverseen happened. They were still running, and it was my fault.

All my fault. I cried out. Whether in pain or guilt, I don't know. But at this point, I wish I had just died.

I'm just a problem. A problem that creates problems. A laugh bubbled up in my throat. But now was not the time to beat myself up. Suicide could wait. I took in my surroundings. I had my black wig and contacts on. My neck was stitched up. I felt good enough to walk. I sat up and moved to the edge of the bed. An attempt to stand up left me on the floor with some medical equipment. Stupid clumsy me.

The loud commotion alerted the nurse who burst through the door to help me. Once I was back on the bed, she asked me a question. "Sophie, are you ok with having some guests?" I nodded. Guests? I understand Irena visiting me, but who else?

Naturally, Irena burst through the door, her eyes red and puffy from crying. "Oh, Sophie, I am so sorry! I should've helped, but I just stood ther-" I cut her off. She was crying again. "It's fine, Irena. I'm ok now, and you did the best you could do. I don't know what I would've done if you got hurt. Besides, you don't have enough experience with this stuff." I could tell she wanted to know what stuff, but she decided against asking. I would tell her someday, but just not now.

"You don't have to pay for he medical care. My dad did. I told him about your situation, and he asked... Would it be okay if he adopted you?" The question was very thoughtful, and it would be easier to keep my cover, but I felt like it would be a betrayal to Grady and Edaline. It doesn't matter though, because they betrayed me. Irena took my silence as discontent, and she spoke softly, her head down. "Sorry, it was a stupid question." I smiled and leaned forward to hug her. "No, I would love to be your sister! I was just thinking about my past life." I hesitated, but decided to give her the little piece of information. "I was adopted before. And, it's a long story, but you'd be my 4th family," she gasped.

"I don't know whether that's cool or sad. Anyway, do you want to meet my dad?" Irena smiled as I nodded and called her dad in. A young looking guy with blond hair and ocean blue eyes walked in. He was dressed in a suit and he smiled at me when he entered. "You must be Sophie. I'm Canter. You say you're an E L F? I'd love to get to know you." He said, sitting in the chair next to me. I smiled. "That sounds good! Would you happen to know when I can get discharged? Also, I can't thank you enough for your offer and how you payed my medical fees." He laughed, and Irena smiled too. "It's ok! Anything to help! You want to get discharged, how about now?" I nodded rapidly. 

"Yes, please!" They left to get a wheel chair, leaving me alone with the nurse, who just came in to remove the machines I was strapped to. "Um, Ms. Nurse? You said I had visitorS," she nodded. "The sweet young man left, but he gave me his number to give to you." She handed me a paper with a number on it. I wonder who it belonged to. Was it a Neverseen member? Or was it a friendly face? I'd have to wait until another time to find out, because Irena came through the door, wheeling a wheelchair Infront of her. 

How was that? I felt really eh writing this chapter. Who do you think will call her? You'll have to wait to find out!

QOTC: How's it been so far? Do you like the story? I'm thinking about giving more flashbacks of her backstory.

WYR: Live on only KotLC books and know everything about the story? Or read only fanfics and understand nothing?
